    2015 Aberdeen and Findlay shows -SAME DAYS!

    I will be at Aberdeen, but getting only 1 space. It's just not worth it anymore to buy a ton of spaces at $60 a piece with less and less buyers every year. I have to leave Friday night due to a Saturday family commitment, and honestly, Im not the least bit upset about it. If something...

    Anyone bid on "sealed bid" auctions?

    Loadtamer nets are THE BEST EVER... I own several sizes, I wont trade them for the world. The biggest thing is to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, and make sure you attach the carabeiners to the ROPE, and not the net itself. Then just pull and tighten it all up, and cinch down the ropelock. The...

    HMMWV's for sale, no longer maybe, it happened

    and 6.5 NA engines were orderable as repair parts in 1997ish time frame. A lot of 6.2's with no real problem were changed out for 6.5's due to BS'ed paperwork. "motor severely underpowered/excessive exhaust/type problems" all that were able to be "fixed" as per ULLS-G with "replace...

    HMMWV's for sale, no longer maybe, it happened

    I highly doubt you will get all the ULLS-G history paperwork with any of these vehicles. Sometimes you may find the 5988-E from the T/I inspection, but even that is doubtful. With my ex USAF M35A2C, I got every piece of paperwork that was associated with it, from the build ticket with hand...

No one cares about PM'ing a vehicle that's headed for turn in. Heck, I may of even ordered it done myself back I the...

    My M998 runs great.. Just like anything else mechanical, the amount of downtime is directly related to the amount of PM the operator does.
